What Summit Off Duty Services does

Summit Off Duty Services is a U.S.-based managed services provider specializing in off-duty law enforcement security programs for businesses. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Irving, Texas, the company connects enterprise clients with a national network of 60,000 vetted off-duty law enforcement officers, handling the full program lifecycle including hiring, scheduling, compliance, and invoicing. Summit reports a 98% staffing fulfillment rate and the ability to fill requests in as few as four hours, fulfilling over 60,000 jobs annually across the country.

The company's core offering is a single managed service — off-duty law enforcement security — rather than a software product. The underlying technology is described as a management platform for coordinating officer deployment, scheduling, and client billing, with no disclosed AI, machine learning, or proprietary IP. Summit serves eight primary verticals: banking and finance, healthcare, restaurant, retail, energy and utilities, construction, corporate facilities, and manufacturing and warehouse. Pricing is quote-based, negotiated per client based on coverage scope, location, and officer requirements, and is not publicly disclosed.

In 2024, Summit was acquired by Protos Security, a national security services platform. Post-acquisition, new sales inquiries are fulfilled by Protos, and Summit operates as the off-duty law enforcement arm of Protos's broader security guarding and off-duty services portfolio. The company's strategic positioning combines the legal authority and training of sworn law enforcement — a credential civilian security contractors cannot replicate — with managed-services operational infrastructure, targeting enterprise clients whose security needs exceed the capabilities of standard guard services.
